Raise a glass raise a cheer

The New Year is here

Time to put away the old

And let new things unfold

Time for a brand new start

Resolutions take to heart

You can reinvent yourself

Learn to extend oneself

To reach better and bigger goals

Implement some self controls

Work on developing discipline

It’s never too late to begin

Develop your mind and your body

So that you do not look too shoddy

Learn something new to work your brain

Think of the knowledge you will gain

Study the Italian language and speak it

So that your family will be tightly knit

Learn to cook Italian traditional dishes

To feed your culture and appetite wishes

You will get a thrill out of cooking pasta

Eat it in moderation, learn to say, “basta”

Get some regular daily exercise

Early to bed and early to rise

You can rework and redesign yourself

This year you must remember oneself

Be the best that you can be

A brand new life philosophy

Raise a glass raise a cheer

It is a brand New Year!
